General history of world civilization

Herbert Wells, domestic connoisseurs of the book almost do not know-the famous science fiction writer acts in this book as a brilliant expert in history, a erudite interlocutor, capable, not linked in details and confused details, to talk about ancient Rome, about Confucius and Prince Gautama , about the Crusades and the personalities of Napoleon Bonaparte. You can’t call this book a textbook in any way - its author is too cheerful and independent. Wells refers to the history of civilization reasonably and simple: how a well -educated and very curious person to an exciting phenomenon. He is interested in the same as any connoisseur of “historical reading”: facts, events, but most importantly - people with their passions, intrigues, hopes and errors. That is, everything that was so unusually attractive to a living human life from the creation of the world. “This book, like a pioneer, will reveal that modern men and women can learn about the past, about themselves and how to live today.” Herbert Wells
